Never-named, it won't run too well. It should be playable on low settings but don't take my word for it .

HEY the reason why the 6600gt beat the x800pro is because it is at a LOWER RESOLUTION. Read the data before you make claims. It runs perfect on my system at 1440*900 highest settings, not high, but highest. My system:
x2 5200+ am2 1mb, zalman 9500 cooling
1950pro power color w/ accelero x2 cooling
x-fi xtreme gamer
2gb patriot ddr2 800mhz antec 500w psu

I've got:
P4 2.4 GHz
512mb RAM
Radeon 9200 (128mb)

How will it run?

My PC can handle this game... barely. 1.7GHz
512 MB RAM
GeForce 5500
Yeah, so, it ain't fast.
The framerate is the problem. Its way too slow.

Its locked because of the frame cap for the Doom 3 engine. Its not a hardware problem, its just a frame cap and and awesome video card which can play a game like this with no problem, staying at the cap the entier time it is played. There is a way to get around teh cap, just look for it yourslef and you might be happy with 100 FPS or so...

My frames in prey are locked on 60 FPS on everythng maximum settings. It doesnt matter if i play it in 1024x768, or in 1280x1024 or in 1600x1200, i always get 60 FPS on geforce 8800 GTX. Do you have any idea why my framerate is locked on 60 FPS??

intel p4 3ghz, 2gb ddr2 ram, 256 mb ati radeon x1300, and it runs decently (2o to 30 fps) on 1024 x 768 medium settings

4200+ x2 2.2 amd , 1 gig ram .. 7900 gto ,i play on maximum detail and 2x AA .. it runs flawlessly , amazingly fast

Kicks ass at 800 x 600 medium res. Helps that I retained my 15" monitor. Playable at 1024 x768 at low settings, but slows down to a crawl with increasing artifacts and cutscenes. Have noticed that the doom3 engine runs much better on nvidia than on ati cards. maybe it's something to do with the alleged leak of doom3 alpha by ATI that got ID pissed.

runs flawless on my system

ive ran this on a p4@3g with 768mb of ram and a 5700le on low so the game will run on just about anything. only got laggy when there was alot of action on screen.

Runs great on my system with settings max out 1024x768 but some slow downs at 1280x1024
pentium 4 CPU 2.50GHz
768MB of RAM
256MB GDDR3 Radeon X700 pro

i dont sea how poeple say that the 6600GT is a low end graphics card. it holds up with the 6800 and the X800 and there classed mid range it makes me laugh cos the 6600GT beats the X800 in this game.

Intel P4 2.2ghz
1gb ddr 333mhz ram
Radeon 9250 PCI

works fine on the absolute lowest of the low setting with the exception of all the textures turned on, i think i could crank up the resolution up to 800x600 if i wanted as well

i have a hp a200n

Intel Celeron 2.4

ATI Radeon 9200 128MB

i put all my at medium with detail and exture high at 1024x728 at it ran at a steady frame per second onli on boas battle or big area that slow down occur i really hapen how my crappy computer play this but one thing i overclocked to graphic card to the near max so i think that why it play well idk

my pc is

AMD AthlonXP 2000+(1.66ghz)CPU
1Gb DDR333 RAM
Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb GRAPHIC CARD
250GB 16mb Maxtor Sata Hard Disk
MX510 Logitech Mouse

I put all to max and it works fine with me...But before i play it ,it keep crashing..Then i go and update my ATI CATALYST and i can play the game without crashing it...

Best Regards,

I have an old Dell Dimension 2400, and it actually ran Prey alright (read: playable, and nothing else) with it's dinosauric FX 5500. Maybe you have another issue with an even older piece of hardware?

Oh look another thread where immature people get to brag about their rigs ... meh.

athlon 64 3200+, 768ram, 80gb hd, geforce 6600. Everything just beautiful in mediun detail with everything activated, just left behind the antialliasing and vertical sync. I don´t know what people complain of their cards. Some have a 6600gt, others x1600 pro and me, with my "pitifull" 6600 play every game in high and mediun detail.

Runs the game on near max settings (sans full AA - everything else full-blown) at 60 FPS. Beautiful.

played the game on high detail, 1024X768 with considerable slowdown. changed to 800X600, ran pretty smooth with occasional frame rate dips around 15 fps.

Downloaded the demo and it does not like my system, probably cause I have a GeForce FX 5500. My system runs Half Life 2 pretty well but not on the max settings. So I'm gonna have to upgrade my graphics card. But if I get a PCI-E card, I would need a new motherboard, and also a new processor. So kind of expensive!

When I started game default video settings was all to max and AF to 8x and resolution to 1024x768 because of my monitor. Game works ok, not perfect but it can be played ok. Sure, when I lower AF to 2x then it's better
Anyway, sound card Audigy 4 boost most of games with hardware sound support, trust me folks, all games works fine on my machine.

All I did was turn down the brightness and then turn the gamma
up a little bit, by nubianpking.

rofl its funny how they run these tests on ubercomputers, then expect us to find the performance guides useful. i mean...Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800...Nvidia GeForce 7900 GTX 512MB...give us a break!

I should be gettin my new PC soon, it will pwn

3.00ghz P4 with Hyperthreading.
1gb RAM.
Geforce 6600LE 256mb AGP

with those the game runs like a charm at 1024x768. Tried at 1152x864 runs just slightly slower.

Cobhamar:
"Well-apparently my graphics card cant run this game. But if I installed this game and did these settings would it work? Imnew to the PC scene so I really don't know too much about this stuff."

If it doesn't work with your graphics card then changing the settings wont do anything. You need to buy graphics card that is supported by the game.

check this out!
1.4 ghz processor, ati radeon x850 pro 256mb AGP, and 768 mb of RDRAM, yes that's RDRAM and it runs 30 fps on 1280x1024 w/ max settings on!
(don't ask!)
(God was on my side!)

yess it runs well on my 6600

Would this game do good on a 7600GT?

The game sucks with the lowest(yeah,even the resolution) settings.But I played DOOM 3 and F.E.A.R. quite nicely, I mean I could play them well.

I run it fine with 2gig ram and a 6600 gt 512, dual core amd

amd 4000 at 3.0

2 gig ram

2 7800gts sli x16

i play it at 1280x1024 4aa 8af everything else maxed
i get 30-50 fps like butter.

The demo runs great on my PC i have 3.2 Anthlon 64 , 1gb ram and Nvidia Geforce 6800xt 256mb. I also have Doom3 and Quake 4 there pretty mucho the same but doesnt stop me from having fun online. The fact is they look great. My sis has a Emachine 3.4 Semptron, 1GB ram minus 128mb for the intergrated Nvidia 6100 video card. The demo runs pretty nice on this pc a little lag sometimes.

I wonder why, you see, Doom3, Quake4 and now PREY, all on the same engine and yet none of these have got a good score at GS. I think the reason is they are more than just similar games. We don't get to see something REALLY new.
